Grammar

Relative clauses its used to make it clear who or what is being referred to.

they can be replace who or wich.

• Thats the town where I lived ten years ago.

that can be replace who or which

• they´re playing the song which Jenny wrote
• they´re playing the song that Jenny wrote

And the most important thing its that you cant use commas before the relative pronoun in defining relative clauses.

 In this Unit I am very confused with  wich, who, where so I have been practiced in house with online activities
